I have used a wash cloth and put it on my face, holding it there for 30 seconds before the cloth goes cold. I guess the wrapping of the towel into a big puddle on ones face the heat is contained. Also I shave at convenient moments. Don't know that I have ever shaved after a shower. My beard grows slow. I can go for about 4 days before I absolutely have to shave. When my beard gets longer it seems to cause me comfort disability so I catch it usually on the third day. Again thanks for the reply.
I bought a small jar of Noxema at Walmart...then when i realized how much I liked it, I bought a larger tub.

You call it a washcloth we call it a face cloth...same thing. I get hot water out of the tap and soak the face cloth and hold that up to my stubble (not over my whole face) and warm up the preshave cream and enjoy the scent and the warmness of the cloth, then I wipe it off and start face lathering. I suppose you could do an initial lather with soap, then do the face cloth routine and then face lather. I just enjoy the Proraso scent!
